Downloading our software requires TLSv1.2 or higher. Some older operating systems (or their libcurl, curl, and nss libraries used by apt-get or yum) may need to be upgraded to a version that enables TLSv1.2 support in order to download files using package installations. Please refer to your operating system documentation for more details.

We currently only support and test x86_64 architectures.
Encryption at rest for Elasticsearch via dm-crypt is supported on all Linux OSs
Support for the listed Linux distributions requires a native Linux install, e.g., Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is unsupported

** Compatibility applies to the bundled CLI for deploying Functionbeat onto serverless frameworks.
Additionally, we provide Beats binaries but not support for Windows XP, Windows Server 2008, OpenSUSE Leap 42, OpenSUSE 13.2, and Oracle Enterprise Linux 6/7 with RHEL Kernel only.
You may also self compile without support on Linux ARM, Linux PPC/PPC64LE, Solaris/SmartOS, and FreeBSD.

^ Elasticsearch output compatibility - Beats & Logstash indexing data to Elasticsearch
* We recommend running the latest version of Beats, Logstash, and ES-Hadoop; earlier versions will work with reduced functionality.
** Starting in version 6.3, X-Pack features are included in the default distributions of Elastic Stack. See https://www.elastic.co/products/x-pack/open
*** APM Server 6.7 works with Elasticsearch 7.0, but data must be migrated using the Upgrade Assistant to be visible in Kibana 7.0

This includes any cluster(s) referenced in the xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.url and xpack.management.elasticsearch.url settings.

For versions 6.2 and older, X-Pack must be installed on all products.

Supported Logstash Plugins

The plugins listed below are maintained and supported by Elastic. Plugin versions that are installable on an Elastic supported Logstash release are considered supported.

The full list of all plugins in the Logstash ecosystem can be found in the product documentation:

Tier 1 Plugins

Definition: These incorporate Logstash plugins that Elastic have published directly and plugins that Elastic has a high degree of experience with. Elastic will provide support to new Support Requests at point of entry for all Severity Levels (1 through 3) but retain the right to downgrade Support Requests to Severity 3 should the root cause be isolated to an external system, service, or library.

* * The S3 input and output plugins only support AWS S3. Other S3 compatible storage solutions are not supported.

** The Ruby filter plugin in supported. The Ruby code executed in the plugin is not supported.

Tier 2 Plugins

Definition: These incorporate Logstash plugins where Elastic has a more limited focus, such that Elastic's ability to effect a solution could be impaired. Elastic will provide support under Severity 3 only.
